"Coach Kerr's absence worries us," Aduda told KweséESPN. "We have several games coming, with the preliminary match of the CAF Champions League in only two weeks' time, and then the league will kick off.

"I really don't know what the coach is up to, but we shall have a meeting on Monday and know the way forward because his absence disorganizes our plans," he added.

"We don't have the luxury of sitting back at such a time."

Kerr, who took over from Ze Maria in July 2017, has helped Gor win the Kenyan Premier League twice, while he also led the club to the CAF Confederation Cup group stage.

The coach is yet to explain his absence to KweséESPN.

Despite Gor's thumping defeat on Merseyside, Aduda is confident that the team have benefited from their overseas experience.

"Our players and technical bench have been exposed to good training facilities and equipment," he continued. "Also, the players have learned the seriousness of football at a high level.

"Our team is not the same again after the game in England, but we need to focus now on the Champions League and defending our league title."

Gor have been paired against Malawi's Nyasa Big Bullets FC in the preliminary round of the CAF Champions League which kicks off later this month.

"I think we have a chance to push for the group stage of the Champions League this time," Aduda concluded. "I believe the draw this year is not as tough as it was for in the last campaign."
